[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read through the previous posts but on several occasions I've cut my mother out of my life for years at a time, no contact whatsoever. She is a manipulative kookbird. She lies, she exaggerates, she is just a very selfish, self-centered, evil person. She never sees my children, of her own choice, which is extremely hurtful to me. She raves about her friends' daughters and how they are their mother's lives. She turns every conversation into a discussion about her job, I could be in the middle of a crisis and she will turn the topic into something about her job.

She is either extremely nice or screaming about something small like a crumb on the counter. It's tough to determine what her mood will be and that is stressful.

To top it off she drinks one to two bottles of wine a night, mostly hiding it from my father. He's clueless and when I try to bring it to his attention he shames me for talking about my mother with disrespect. Therefore I just keep my distance and do not have contact with her. It hurts to know I've lost her, it hurts to not spend time with her, but I don't need the toxicity in my life or around my children.[/quote]

I almost thought you were my SIL writing about my bat crazy narcissistic MIL, but MIL prefers to mooch rather than work and she doesn't hold down jobs for long. Lying, drinking, being selfish and self-centered sounds spot on though.

You are not alone. Sending you positive thoughts so you can rid yourself of thoughts about your toxic mom.[/quote]

Oh, thank you. I mostly avoid my mother because I cannot listen to hours upon hours of stories about her work. She's in local politics and it is all she talks about. She believes the world runs out of her office, it's actually an inside joke between my DH & I. You call her to tell her you're sick, pregnanct, have cancer, dying, and BOOM! She lets you get one sentence out and then she's off to the races about her office. Oy. [/quote]
